DESCRIPTION

The Libra Series of presettable counters is an economical and reliable solution

to one or two preset level requirements. The LIBC1 and LIBC1E are the single
preset versions and the LIBC2 and LIBC2E are the dual preset versions. All four
units have a solid-state output and a Form C relay output for each preset. These
units feature input configuration programmability, a full complement of control
inputs,  programmable  timed  outputs,  non-volatile  memory,  and  many  other
features which will satisfy most any single or dual preset level requirement.

The Libra counters have two main counting actions, Reset to Zero 

(RTZ)

and

Reset to Preset 

(RTP)

. With RTZ, the counter resets to zero and counts up 

(if

UP/DN  terminal  is  at  high  level)

and  activates  the  outputs  when  the  preset

value

(s)

are reached. When RTP is used, the unit starts at the preset value and

counts  down 

(if  the  UP/DN  terminal  is  at  low  level)

and  activates  the  output

when zero is reached. For the 2-preset version, the count starts at preset 2 and
counts toward zero. Output 1 fires when preset 1 value is reached and output 2
fires when the count reaches zero. There are eight modes of operation for the
single preset unit and sixteen modes of operation for the dual preset unit.

The timed output is programmed through the front panel buttons and can be

programmed from 0.01 sec. to 99.99 sec. 

(The unit’s timed output is set at the

factory to be 0.1 sec.)

The Libra counters have an internal non-volatile memory

device  which  eliminates  the  need  for  battery  back-up.  When  input  power  is
removed, this device will maintain all data necessary for system operation. A
Program  Disable  terminal  is  available,  which  is  used  to  prevent  accidental
changes or tampering by unauthorized personnel to the preset

(s)

or timed output

value

(s)

. The front panel reset button can also be enabled or disabled by a rear

panel DIP switch. These counters also have an on-line self-test, which checks
all display driver and micro-processor hardware. The self-test can be run at any
time without losing counts or missing a preset value.

Power, input, and output connections are made via removable terminal strips

located at the rear of the unit. These strips can accept one #14 AWG stripped
wire.  DIP  switches  at  the  rear  of  the  unit  are  used  to  program  the  input
configuration and to set the desired operating modes.

The Libra Series counters have a metal die-cast front bezel, which is sealed,

and  meets  NEMA  4/IP65  specifications  for  wash-down  and/or  dust  when
properly installed. Mounting clips are provided for easy panel installation.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the

manual  or  on  equipment  must  be  observed  to  ensure  personal  safety  and  to
prevent  damage  to  either  the  instrument  or  equipment  connected  to  it.  If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use this unit to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators

not equipped with safeguards. To do so, can be potentially harmful to persons
or equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.
